Rotary ‘Gift of Life’ (India) project is to arrange ‘free
heart surgery’ for economically weak children up to the age of
20 years, suffering from congenital heart diseases. This Rotary
peace project of love is beyond borders, caste, creed, religion,
race and colour. Through “Gift of Life” program, Rotary is
giving life to children born to die thereby touching, changing
and making difference to lives of many from all parts of India
and beyond borders. This project is classic example how Rotary
can promote peace and understanding between nations through
international community service. These children cannot afford
high cost of surgery and have no access to quality medical care.
But you can sponsor a child for surgery thereby eliminating
suffering and saving life. Your donations will help to get a new
life for a child. “Gift of Life” aspires to give quality lives
to approximately 300 children per year, suffering from heart
ailments, by arranging heart surgery at best available
specialist hospitals in New Delhi.
